Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Thanks, Malik.)

I'm hopeful for the Magnificent Seven remake in August with Denzel, Chris Pratt, and Ethan Hawke. Should be a fun movie, if not brilliant cinema.
August release dates are usually take the dumpster movies by the studios. Worries me.
 
Most concerning is that this guy has offspring....

Errrrbody in AL has offspring. This guy just knows where his is. He hopes.
 
If anyone gives you free tickets to Independence Day 2, you should kick that person in the nuts and burn the tickets.

I'll second the reco on The Night Of series on HBO.

Went to the movies last night, but didn't get there in time to catch Infiltrator so plan B was Ghostbusters, which actually outscored Infiltrators on Rotten Tomatoes (the only movie review system I give credence to.) I have to say I was not looking forward to Ghostbusters even though I'm a fan of the original as well as Kristen Wiig. The previews just made it look stupid. However I really did enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, it ain't Shawshank Redemption. But it was much, much more entertaining that I thought it would be and if you liked the original, I believe you'll like this one.

Lastly, if you aren't watching Another Period on Comedy Central, you're doing yourself a huge disservice. Funniest show on TV since Arrested Development.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
 
I just saw The Lobster last week. Dark, funny, disturbing, ridiculous. Still showing at Violet Crown, I think.

It's a big time change of pace, but worth it. DO NOT GO STONED.
The Lobster was a good movie that could have been a great one if it was 15 minutes shorter, and I'm one of those people that likes long movies. It just dragged too much in the third act.

One of the best things about my job is watching kids change their lives through this little game that we all love to obsess over, knowing that years and years of hard work can eventually translate into a life forever changed.

One thing to remember when we all bash a coach for taking questionable recruits or being lenient on some players is, that coaches feel the same way you just described.

Some kids get it and a lot don't. Malik gets it and he seems like a leader on and off the field.

Of course. It's as organically pure as it gets in this industry.
 
totally agree.

Kinda good news Ketch
totally agree.

Good news, Ketch. Jeff Bridges has a new movie coming out Aug. 19, entitled "Come Hell or High Water,"----set in West Texas, Jeff plays a sheriff out to make a statement before retiring vs a couple of brothers who are robbing branches of the bank that foreclosed on their ranch.
Not so good news-its the 21st century. But hell, I''l take it.
 
@Ketchum Funniest movie of the summer was Popstar imo. It's filmed like VH1's Behind the Music and you'll dig the "interviews". Nas was predominantly featured in this role. Samberg's character is a cross b/w Kanye/JB, with Lonely Island producing the soundtrack. Popstar nailed the parody ranging from the music industry's excesses to its beefs.
